Known for his monumental chocolate statues, Patrick Roger is less famous for his sculptures in bronze, silver and aluminum. However, the park, the gardens and the reception rooms of Bois-Guilbert, a family-owned 18th century château, located in Seine-Maritime, often become the setting for special exhibitions. In order to write a new page of his career, the talented artist has been tempted by metal mania.
